Man, do I pity your competition in Florida! I wish them luck in nurrsing their amazingly mangled egos back to health after the whooping they receive at the hands of the Meekins Machine of Illustration and Ass-Kicking!

Hey Marlow! When you're in FL at the convention you have to look out for THIS guy ( http://www.jasonchatfield.com/grant.jpg )He's the only Australian attending the conference - you have to PROMISE to draw him if you see him Puh-Leeeeze! He's a really "top bloke" - Love yer work!

LUCK? You don't need luck! All you need is to keep your precious precious fingers from being slammed in a car door or bitten off by a ornery pirate or whathaveyou...so I guess that's where the luck would come in handy...but ASIDE form that you're gunna kick some ass fer sure.YOU TALENTED GODDESS YOU!

LUCK? HA! YOU DON"T NEED LUCK!All you need to do is make sure you keep those precious fingers of yours warm and safe...don't let a car door slam on them, or let an overzealous parrot bite them off...insure them for they are the digits of legends.YOU TALENTED GODDESS.

I was just reminded that there’s a farewell party tonight for one of the designers. His last day is today, and we're taking him out for dinner, and drinks after that. I completely forgot about it! I have to be there.

I'll have to postpone until next week. Will you be back in town by Friday?

Have a nice time intimidating the big head little body ladies with your luminous wit and beauty. And your being better than them in every way.

Thank you for your super kind comment on my blog. I'm not technically a hobbit, but I do tend to get pursued by cute woodland creatures when I pop out to refill my creative excitement by getting buffeted by the wind.
